A Created Creation

Differential,

I elevate, levitate.

I subside and reside.

Something you can’t shake.

I’m here and here to stay,

Flourishing.

I brand by touch,

I stain.

Engrained,

I’m beautiful and can be toxic at times.

A shapeshifter,

An enigma,

I create stigmas.

Stigmatized,

A palette most hated,

Cause I sit pretty on eyes.

I twinkle I shine,

I can be matte at times.

Recreated, mostly shaded

Like contour lines.

But, my name differentiates, gossiped amongst taste, I’m not fake but I can be two faced.

Two shades, like a Gemini.

I am wealthy I have rich tastes,

Something you can and cannot buy.

I am a facade in a museum placed delicately feasted on by all eyes.

You’ve created me,

I am the beauty of creation,

Created by thee and thy,

Dare you ask,

Who am I?
